A description is a writing form used to create an impression of an object, person, place, event, process, mechanism, etc . You can describe people, objects, animals, plants, or you can also describe how an event happened, how a mechanism operates, etcetera.
In a description you find many adjectives which are the words that will characterize any thing you want to describe. Example 1:
In an equilateral triangle, all sides are of equal length. An equilateral triangle is also an equiangular polygon, i.e. all its internal angles are equal—namely, 60°; it is a regular polygon.
This description was taken from the following web page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangle Example 2:
A polygon that is not convex is called concave.[2] A concave polygon will always have an interior angle with a measure that is greater than 180 degrees.
It is possible to cut a concave polygon into a set of convex polygons
